Stopped in here again on our way to Thanksgiving dinner to have lunch and catch some football. Hubby had the 1/2 rack of ribs, which were good. The mashed potatoes and gravy were just "meh," and the broccoli was overcooked. I enjoyed a combo platter of pulled pork (could only eat half of the pile), fire-roasted corn (also meh), baked beans (delicious), and garlic bread. The 4 different BBQ sauces on the table definitely elevated the meat. Plenty of free parking in their private lot. Live football game is piped into the sex-segregated restrooms so you don't miss a play! Many thanks to the staff working the holiday. read more

Food amazing service was ok waitress could have been trained better.Ambiance great just very cold establishment this is the second time in 3 months I've been to this location. Just seems like there's never any heat in this establishment. Slight issue with the food ask for management because my burger was sent back twice and he wouldn't even come out and speak hmm not good for business. The fact the management refused to come speak was an upsetting but now I see why the establishment is ran the way it is . Surprised this place is still open . read more

Food and drinks are what you expect from this chain. However this was my second time here sitting at the bar and service wasn't great. The bartender Dee caters to the regulars leaving others to beg for attention from anyone else walking by. I don't remember the name of the Spanish bartender that did end up helping us but if it wasn't for her I'd be giving one star. I wouldn't come to watch sports at the bar due to the poor quality of some TVs. read more

My family and I were craving bbq over the last few days. We were originally at a different restaurant down the street that had a long wait. We called Smokey Bones to see the wait time and were informed there was no wait. We arrived and now see why. It is freezing in this restaurant! My phone says it's 64 degrees. The manager stated the heat has been out for over a month. They were only given 3 small space heaters by corporate. We weren't informed of this issue when we called, nor when we arrived and were seated. Everyone in the restaurant had on their coats and gloves. Not only was the restaurant cold but sadly our food was brought out cold too... A totally disappointing experience at this restaurant. read more

Just sitting here waiting on my waiter to pick up the check. Arrived at 5:30. It's now 6:54. Waiter is nice enough. The food was served at separate times. Mine was cold and my wife's salad was warm. Make that make sense. Bathroom is dirty. I had to get my own silverware and refills. Part of my dinner didn't even arrive. Over all this just isn't the place to go to for BBQ. The manager offered a discount that I didn't expect. I think the staff was frustrated with the kitchen. Been here 3 times in 15 years. It's the same thing every time. Okay service but bad food read more

What a great atmosphere. Kadae was more than delightful. Food was great, happy hour prices and menu are spot on!

Stopped in for a beverage and some food to go. They tried. Overall decent experience and good pricey food, just make sure you check your order before you walk out the door... read more

Service was ok but not spectacular! Trying to order was hit or miss, out of brisket, out of smoked turkey, & someone forgot to do the meat the night before. We travel through a few times per year & used to look forward to stopping at this location but things get worse time after time. I hope they get it worked out but we will stop elsewhere to eat on our travels. read more

I dined here a couple of days ago, because I kept getting emails about a $14.99 special on ribs that came with 2 side dishes. When the server brought the food out, it looked beautiful and it was so delicious. I really like their sauce with the blue top on it. I would definitely recommend the restaurant on Route 256, because the waitresses and Staff stick together just to keep the place running. Thanks smoky bones Staff for making my day. I will definitely be coming out back soon. read more

Never going to another Smokey bones again. I've already gone to two locations and both were not good. The only part of the food that was good was the cornbread, everything else was disgusting. The atmosphere is okay and the service was horrible! I asked for water, literally an hour later and after asking 3 different people they finally bring it out, my cornbread came out earlier! Overall 3/10 (1.5 stars) the only reason this isn't 1/10 is because the cornbread was delicious with the butter. (My review from Google Maps) read more

Hostess was not very friendly. Had to wait about 10mins for her to clean off a table. Once we were sat, it took a few moments for the waitress to make it over. We ordered our drinks, a smoked old fashioned (they couldn't smoke it for some reason?) unsweet tea and a children's lemonade. She brought back all of the drinks but the tea and said she would need to brew a new batch. Several moments later the cocktail came but no tea... still working on it I guess, I took it as a sign to order a cocktail as well. Ordered the bourbon blackberry lemonade. It came back in a pint glass with no ice. I was confused. I'm pretty sure there was not alcoholic. I asked and she insisted it was ... the food then took another 30+mins to arrive. We asked for another old fashioned but she said their ice maker was not working so he ordered a beer which didn't arrive til our dinners were finished. This is was not a great experience that took forever with only okay food. read more

Ordered the smoked Mac and Cheese with pulled pork. The plate was really hot, but the Mac and cheese was cold. I mean, the cheese was congealed! The pulled pork was cold also. Sent it back and the pork was still cold. We sat at the bar and the bar maid was not attentive at all. Hardly anyone in the restaurant. Now I know why. Was visiting a friend before we went to dinner and she suggested we go somewhere else cuz her experience was very poor also. read more

It's been a while since we ate at this particular location. The food was great, as expected based on the other one we normally go to, but the service here was just okay that night. At check out time, the server, Hayden, took the table-side pad and seemed to take a long time to set it up. When it only asked for a signature, we asked about the tip, she said it was already included. Odd for a table of 2 but it'd been along day so we signed and left. It was not discovered until later that she'd set a 25% tip. The service was not nearly that spectacular, not quite even the 20% we normally do. Given how long it took for her to 'prepare' the tablet, we suspect she likely also gave herself a "great" review. Last time we opt to not question our server. read more

Been going for years, however I won't be back. After being seated no service for about 10 minutes then it gets worse. We wait and wait for our beverages. For the third time the server apologizes about how long we had to wait. The appetizer arrives the loaded cheese fries are loaded with coldness. The cheese is like a rock. Then it takes 40 minutes for our dinner. This place must have management problems as the service has become terrible. I give one star because there is not a zero star. read more

If you're looking for mouthwatering BBQ, bold flavors, and an unbeatable atmosphere, **Smokey Bones** is the place to be! My partner and I came in Wednesday night and the staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive--our server gave great recommendations and made sure everything was perfect. Our compliments to the cooks. Food was absolutely delicious! read more

Apparently the manager didn't want to accept the $7.99 Yelp lunch coupon. He said "can't trust everything on the internet ". OMG this was on Yelp website and I showed him the coupon. What a idiot! The waiter looked at the Yelp $7.99 special on my phone and said okay when I showed it to her. read more

I've ordered take out from this location possibly three times. Just two days ago I ordered the Rib Feast with wedges and a baked potato. My order was set to be ready by 12:10a and I arrived at 12:16. The curbside pickup was easy and quick but the food was COLD. This is the second time I've had this experience. Thankfully I was going home so I could warm it up but why should I have to?! Are there not warmers available? The ribs literally fall off the bones, which i love but having the deal with cold food....super disappointed. read more

What the heck??? SO DISAPPOINTING. No brisket, no Coke, no pecan butter, no pretzel bites. Our server tried but did not have much to work with. It took OVER AN HOUR to get our food!!! What the heck??? Completely unacceptable. When my steak came well done instead of MEDIUM I ordered. My server offered to take it back. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? How long would THAT take??? Won't be back for a long time--- if ever. You all sucked today. Not anxious to come back, ever. read more

Hello. I just wanted to tell you that we were sitting in the booth a Smokey Bones for at least 45 plus minutes. We did not even get our nachos! It was the appetizer! Now, I know it was not our servers fault, it was a kitchen issue that they couldn't make our food in a timely manner. But, still I did not enjoy it. Thank you for reading this. You may have a better time than we did, so good luck. read more

Jaylen was amazing, had the best service ever and she was a nice,had a smile on her face,she is cool,and she is THE BEST IN THE WORLD!!!!!dont get me started on the food omg it was so good.

GOD the best Smokey bones experience ever. PS (the atmosphere was good but the food took a little while to come out) read more

Always great food. Clean and manager always makes things right. (Only once) enjoy their specials.

Had a late lunch The menu's were sticky on certain pages. For the appetizer, we got the mini Loaded BBQ Mag-Nachos. That was pretty good. For the main meal, we chose Robert's ribfest for two. It comes with a full rack of ribs. Your choice of four regular sides, garlic bread, and either an appetizer or a dessert. I chose the bag of donuts and added a side salad. The sides were baked potatoes, fries, and the fir roasted corn. The sides were good, but my rib had a lot of fat and gristle, so I sent it back. The sweet tea was weak and not very sweet. The ribs are very light in color and not grilled. It had a light smoke taste. The bag of donuts half of them were overcooked the ones that wernt tasted good. If you like bland unseasoned food, go here. Hickory House or City BBQ has no worries. The waiter Alexis was very nice and friendly. My daughters to go order had a penny at the bottom of it, and once we finished our food, a water bug crawled on the table. read more

Waitress was rude and no customer service skills, we got to wait so long for our beverages, we asked to change them for some margaritas and she looked really annoyed and left us for another 20 minutes, we definitely left,... no reason why customers are treated like that read more

on 5/4 at 9:45p I ordered salmon baked potatoes and broccoli and I had an alcoholic beverage I'm a seated guess waiting after waiting 30mn I started to realize I'd been waiting to long finally she comes over and tells me she went to ask cook what happened to the order and she says he told her he couldn't find the salmon and then he lost the ticket !!! my thoughts she never put it in being that I saw another table with salmon for this reason I'll won't go back !!! snd on top of that she wasn't very attractive I had to wait another 25 min to check out cuz the table machine didn't work I left that place at 11:02 crazy!!!! read more

First, food was delicious. Unfortunately the service was SLOW! Our server didn't bring lates & napkins until after our appetizer. I had to go get napkins. The place wasn't full for the service to be off. They have a Mexican corn topped with takis were a no go. The bbq mag nachos were delicious & worth every penny. read more

Maddie was an outstanding server - we had a great meal & great drinks. Thank you very much !!

I am writing to tell you what a great server Myonna is. We were in there on the 19th of March. There were three of us & she was wonderful. Smiles, great service, very friendly. We would gladly have her for our server again. Thank you Roberta read more

At 8:45 on Sunday evening, the restaurant was not very busy. We were seated at a booth in the bar area and then waited more than 30 minutes with no acknowledgment at our table. There seem to be adequate staffing but none of the employees who passed by our table could see us - apparently. We finally went and asked the manager if someone could take her order. Another five minutes and she came to our table to explain there was no one working in our area as if it were our fault. Another 5 minutes and someone showed up to take our order. I'm not optimistic about how the meal is going to go after this awful start! read more

Trayona was amazing! Provided fast and efficient service with a great attitude. Food was pretty good.

Sever was nice, and atmosphere is nice.great service and the food was great! I highly recommend coming here! I would also like to shoutout

Was forgotten some by wait staff and the food I ordered was kind of a let down size wise and how it was plated was kind of sad but it wasn't the worst place I've ever ate. Waitress was still nice. Just kind of pricey for what you're really getting. read more

Horrible service! We go inside and it's not even that busy and we're told to wait. Floor was sticky and disgusting and many groups came after us and were told to wait. They didn't even sit us down and serve us drinks while we waited near the door. read more

Cons - too salty - dried out pulled pork (how is that possible?) - produce that should've been thrown away - everything in the restaurant is sticky. - overpriced for the quality of food Pros - the staff was friendly - not much of a wait at 6:15 on a Friday night, probably because of the Cons listed above. The impression I get, this is a restaurant that is slated to close in the near future and they're just trying to make as much as they can before they lock the doors for the final time. read more

Ohhhh after my experience with another BBQ place I wasn't expecting too much from Smokey Bones.. but Wow!! Rack of ribs was outstanding with great smoke ring and so tender. The sauces on the table were perfect and the loaded nachos were the best I ever ate! Kegan was our server and he was great from the beginning. He checked on our table and cleared it so there weren't so many dishes cluttering the table. He had a good attitude and was nice! This restaurant is very clean and everything looked great! We will be back here ! I can't believe I haven't been here for so long!!! read more
